Bucatini

[3][4] Bucatini is a tubed pasta made of hard durum wheat flour and water.

[citation needed] In Italian cuisine, bucatini is served with buttery sauces, guanciale, vegetables, cheese, eggs, and anchovies or sardines.

[5] It is traditionally made with guanciale, a type of cured meat taken from the pork jowl.

The pasta dough is fed into a machine that forces it through a perforated disk, very similar to a meat grinder.

Bucatini are made with a disk with tiny circular perforations, which forces the pasta dough to emerge in long tubes.
